AP/Yahoo offered up the blurb below when Assad died.
It failed to note that Sadat was killed
because of his support for peace w/ Israel.
And, that Assad and Gadhafi stayed popular w/
their people by opposing Israel and it's ally America.
And, that the "Federation" never materialized.
Just one more benefit of Israel: Anti-American Arab leaders.

President Anwar Sadat of Egypt, left, Col. Moammar Gadhafi of Libya,
center, and Gen. Hafez Assad of Syria are shown during a reception
in Damascus where the three leaders met for the final draft
and agreement on the Federation in this Aug. 18, 1971 file photo.
